CHICAGO ~ Today, Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot of Chicago announced the launch of the first publicly viewable Chicago Early Childhood Integrated Data System (CECIDS). This interactive data map provides insights into how many children are eligible for services in each Chicago community and where those services are located. The website, administered by Northern Illinois University (NIU), will continue to be updated as new data becomes available.
Mayor Lightfoot stated that this launch is part of her promise to bring transparency to government and improve early childhood services for years to come. CECIDS was first prototyped by the Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) and is a first of its kind in Chicago and a leading example in integrated data systems in Illinois and nationwide.
DFSS Commissioner Brandie Knazze expressed pride in being part of CECIDS from the beginning, noting that it is more than just numbers on a screen; it is information about children, teachers, and ultimately leads to better outcomes for early learners.
